The IDEA Phase conference, presented by AIGA Baltimore’s DEIA department, is a one-day event dedicated to advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in graphic design. Taking place on October 19, 2024, at MICA’s Lazarus Building, the conference will feature a series of speaker sessions and panel discussions showcasing prominent experts in the DEIA field and highlighting the perspectives of artists with disabilities. Attendees will gain valuable insights into integrating DEIA principles into design practices from the outset. The conference will also offer hands-on workshops that build on the themes discussed throughout the day, focusing on best practices and design principles that prioritize inclusivity and accessibility. We are also hoping to have a vendor area showcasing the work of local artists. Food and refreshments will be available throughout the event, and ticket sales will start soon.
